It 2020 guitar so must be ebony..

I am fine as long as this is not a defect in manufacturing which will result in some issues later on..

Is this something I should be concerned with?

yes, is this just the overspray?

Now I am confused myself.. Is this ebony or not? 🙂

guys, I believe this is ebony. My question is why the finishing is so bad where the neck connects to the body? the serial number starts with CS of course. see the third photo - it is weird the connection looks so bad..

I am looking to purchase Custom Shop LP 2020 and up and came across one ad. Its 2020 Silverburst CS LP... Looking at the images the seller sent me I noticed this strange thing.. Is this normal for a Custom Shop guitar?

Oh I see.. I would say I want to have the diamond inlays on it.. But it does not matter that much if I can find a great LP custom.. I currently have a Classic one which is great and S-1 1976. S1 neck feels so good! And I went to local store before I even had a LP and took one to play there. And it was an expensive LP (over 5K). So I was really blown away with it and next day I got my new LP classic. Now I understand why I was so impressed LOL. Back then I did not know the details..

yeah guys, I get it. This is the reason I asked about it. I figured I want a custom one.. life is short.. enjoy it now! 🙂 but why some CS LPs have the diamond on the headstock and some don't? and the binding, etc? Just because the other CS models are re-issues and mimic the original ones (which did not have those)?

Cool, thanks! Very useful. But it looks like everyone wants a CS guitar not just a regular 'harley' 🙂

I am trying to understand what is called Gibson Custom Shop guitars. Say Les Pauls.. I see so many ads where a guitar is 'custom shop' and it does have the COA where it says Custom but it looks pretty much the same as any standard Les Paul.. On the other hand there are custom ones with enhanced binding (on both sides) and the diamond emblem on the headstock and with rectangular inlays.. So why there are both 'custom'? Is this based on the year they were made or some are re-issues and this is why they look 'standard'? Or whats the story? If there is an article about it I would be happy to read it.. thanks!~
